I will never walk the same again after going to "school" here.
The "school" they offer is barely more than what you would get from visiting your cousin in the backwoods and his beat to hell 10+ year old DRZ. What I experienced: 5-10 minutes of lecture that is yelled over the other vehicles on the track, followed by 15-20 minutes of free reign on the track to practice what was in the lecture, along with the other 10+ people in the class. DO NOT EXPECT ANY INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION. If you have bad habits or don't interpret the lecture exactly as intended, it's on you to recognize and fix your own problems! The instructor and other people working there are barely paying any attention, if any at all, once you get on the track, as you will see from my experience below.
On a bike I was told not to stall or it wouldn't start back up, I went into a turn near the start of the course and lost traction to the rear of the bike. My foot, while in the position they instructed us to have it in, caught the ground as the bike slid out from under me which caused my foot to twist around with a sickening *pop*. This is a sound that is now burned forever in my memory. I immediately drug myself off the hot asphalt track and started yelling out for help while waving my arms, to no effect. I waited, and waited, and yelled more while waving my arms, watching the other riders pass me on the side MULTIPLE times. SEVERAL minutes pass before anyone comes to help me... and their first question is "Can you walk?" JFC, if I could walk I would be doing that!
From there I was carried under the arms by two of the guys up a hill where I vaguely remember being asked if I needed an ambulance. I should have said yes, but being in shock from the amount of pain, I must have declined since no ambulance was called. Doctors later said that I could have easily bled out quickly based on my injury and that anyone with any training would have instantly called an ambulance. I was with it enough to know that I needed a hospital though and expressed that. I was then put into a car, driven back to the area where the riders were still going around the track and was told to wait... while they fill out some paperwork? The instructor, who wasnt even monitoring the track at the time made sure to stop the car to make sure to offer me a free re-try on the "school", how nice of them, no thanks bud. Easily 10 more minutes go by as they fill out paperwork, with me sitting in this employee's car which had drugs and paraphernalia clearly visible in the center console. The car I was in couldn't take me to the hospital for whatever reason and all my friends came on bikes. Thankfully one of the other mechanics was able to take me to the ER, thank you sir!
This experience made it glaringly clear that there was absolutely no one prepared for accidents. There were zero medical or emergency personnel on staff that I could tell as well. For such a risk prone activity this is unacceptable.
This incident resulted in spiral fractures on both my Tibia and Fibula which extended into the ankle joint requiring extensive surgery and stay in hospital and will effect how I walk for the rest of my life.
My advice, steer clear of this joke of a school if you value your safety. read more
